July 29, 200619 yr Defenders seem good if your into European style fencing. Also, the animation for the defender is annoying. You run somewhere and you have to studder-step everytime your attacked. Exclusive Legacy Mode Player He just successfully trolled you with "courtesy" and managed to get a reaction out of you. Lol
July 29, 200619 yr They are simply a blade catching weapon. The jitte of the japanese midieval era was similar. The whole point is not to take the blunt of the blow on the blade but to push it out of the way. You don't have to stop the swing just push it out of line. Once it is out of line, your opponent is wide open for your own thrust.
July 29, 200619 yr It's a jut a parrying weapon to throw your oppenent off balance. If you watch closely when your using a defender When your charcter blocks he raises his hand up and then kinda moves it to the left as though knocking away the opponents hand :wink: And shepherds we shall be, for Thee, my Lord, for Thee. Power hath descended forth from Thy hand, that our feet may swiftly carry out Thy command. So we shall flow a river forth to Thee, and teeming with souls shall it ever be. In nomine Patris et Filii et Spiritus Sancti.
July 29, 200619 yr first time i saw it i thought it was held like a pick axe that would've been way cooler, turns out its just a midget sword #-o Sig by me....

July 30, 200619 yr Watch some Naruto I'd rather have my eyelids taken out and then be forced to live in a sunny and dry place for 3 years with no water. Naked. :lol: I'm pretty sure a 'defender' is used to block swords, made of a sturdy and light metal, small enough to block a sword with 1 hand, and counter attack with your weapon. How the hell it blocks a whip I don't know. :-#
July 30, 200619 yr Defenders are simply small daggers held in the off-hand (yes, held LIKE a dagger is held, lol.) They are often called "Main Gauche", which means left hand or something in french. They were superior to bucklers and other shields in duels against a "thrusting" weapon but inferior against "cutting" (slashing, chopping, etc.) weapons. Since daggers offered a superior form of alternate attack (stab/slash as opposed to bashing their heads in with the shield) and thrusting weapons were viewed as more deadly than cutting weapons, they were much more frequently used in duels. Thrusting offerred both a longer reach and a more protected form of attack (until some guy thought to simply step back and hack at the attackers' arm that is, lol. Took awhile, though.) Another great thing about them is that they offered better chances of a "riposte" (attacking immediatly after blocking/parrying an attack). So it is held by the "stub" like a dagger. The vantage point that the picture of the defender is taken makes it appear much too small to actually hold on to. A dds would look the same if pictured that way. ...history lesson over. :XD: =D> i love weapon history buffs! Used to be waaayyy into that stuff lol :D New sigzor^^
July 30, 200619 yr [ Knuckle dusters and iron/brass knuckles are exactly the same things. So why correct him? Mystical.
July 30, 200619 yr Why on earth would you use that for rl combat... I'd rather have a shield... Depends on the weapon you using, you can move better when wielding a defender or kunai. Tip.it's 2nd unoffical Go player sm3x;

I would assume that the entrails of abby demons are made from stronger stuff than metal. A barbless whip can cut through leather like butter in the right hands so I would assume that barbed abby-entrails would do the same to metal? Or it is just magic. Magic, pssh. :roll: :lol: PM me in game to use some skills of mine (glories/potions) free or to ask a question.Fire Cape - 04/29/06 Lvl 104RAHK's Pro PC Gear and Guide(clickable) Tired of hack and slash?
